Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.
The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.
This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

To allow multiple platforms to use the PXA27x OHCI driver, the platform
code needs to be moved into the board specific files in
arch/arm/mach-pxa. This patch does this for mainstone and adds
preliminary hooks to allow other boards to use the driver.
This has been compile tested for mainstone and successfully run on Spitz
(Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000) with the addition of an appropriate board
support file.

ARMv6K CPUs have SEV (send event) and WFE (wait for event) instructions
which allow the CPU clock to be suspended until another CPU issues a
SEV, rather than spinning on the lock wasting power. Make use of these
instructions.
Note that WFE does not wait if an event has been sent since the last WFE
cleared the event status, so although it may look racy, the instruction
implementation ensures that these are dealt with.

Patch from Liam Girdwood
This patch allows users of the pxa SSP driver to register their own irq
handlers instead of using the default SSP handler. It also cleans up the
CKEN clock and irq detection as the values are now stored in a table.
This patch replaces 2845/1
Changes:-
o Added flags parameter to ssp_init()
o Added SSP_NO_IRQ flag to disable registering of ssp irq handler (for
drivers that want to register their own handler)
o Cleaned up clock and irq detection, values are now stored in table.
o Added build changes to allow other drivers (e.g audio) to select the
ssp driver.
o corgi_ssp.c changed to use new interface.

Patch from Richard Purdie
This patch adds a power and battery management core driver which with
the addition of the right device files, supports the c7x0 and cxx00
series of Sharp Zaurus handhelds.
The driver is complex for several reasons. Battery charging is manually
monitored and controlled. When suspended, the device needs to
periodically partially resume, check the charging status and then
re-suspend. It does without bothering the higher linux layers as
a full resume and re-suspend is unnecessary. The code is carefully
written to avoid interrupts or calling code outside the module under
these circumstances. It also vets the various wake up sources and
monitors the device's power situation.
Hooks to limit the backlight intensity and to notify the battery
monitoring code of backlight events are connected/added as the
backlight is one of the biggest users of power on the device.

Patch from Alessandro Zummo
This patch adds support for the LinkSys NSLU2 running with
both big and little-endian kernels. The LinkSys NSLU2 is
a cost engineered ARM, XScale 420 based system similar to
the the Intel IXDP425 evaluation board. It uses the
IXP4XX ARCH.
While this patch applies independently of other patches
the resultant kernel requires further patches to successfully
use onboard devices, including the onboard flash. Since these
patches are independent of this one they will be submitted
separately.
A defconfig is not included here because not all of
the required drivers are actually in the kernel.
We intend to provide one as soon as the patches
will be incorporated in mainstream.
This patch is the combined work of nslu2-linux.org
